How pay is spread in Utah

By median pay, Utah is number 24 of the 54 states and territories in the figures. The lowest-paid tenth of employees earned less than $30,040 a year and the highest-paid tenth more than $119,990. The middle half, between the 25% and 75% lines, earned from $37,520 to $78,560. For the whole country those outer lines were $31,200 and $128,560. The average (mean) pay was $66,290, 32% above the median, because high earners lift an average more than a median. The 1,735,590 jobs counted here are 1.1% of all jobs in the national figures.

The kinds of work

Adding up the occupations with a published job count, the largest fields of work in Utah are Office and Administrative Support (221,610 jobs, 13%), Sales and Related (140,530 jobs, 8%), Food Preparation and Serving Related (136,080 jobs, 8%) and Transportation and Material Moving (134,100 jobs, 8%). Some occupations are far more common here than elsewhere. Set against their share of all jobs in the country, the most concentrated are Subway and Streetcar Operators (8.5 times the national share), Umpires, Referees, and Other Sports Officials (6.3 times the national share) and Continuous Mining Machine Operators (5.7 times the national share). The table on this page lists 708 occupations; for 15 of them the Bureau released a job count but no pay figure.

Same job, different pay

Among the 280 occupations with at least 1,000 jobs and a yearly median in the state, 59 pay more than the same occupation does nationally, 169 pay less and 52 are within 2%. The widest gaps above the national median are for Health Specialties Teachers, Postsecondary ($168,060 here, $107,310 nationally), Cardiovascular Technologists and Technicians ($113,510 here, $74,310 nationally) and Flight Attendants ($82,730 here, $63,580 nationally). The widest gaps below it are for Chemical Equipment Operators and Tenders ($39,020 here, $58,040 nationally), Computer and Information Research Scientists ($94,700 here, $140,300 nationally) and Driver/Sales Workers ($26,590 here, $38,770 nationally). A gap in pay is not a gap in living standard: prices, housing costs and taxes differ between states, and these statistics do not adjust for them.
